This time you missed the 'its about name recognition' part.

Why ?
the only reason I have heard you put forward is because you feel sftp is known
to ssh people. Isn't an alias for that good enough? Why should it be the
first name?

That would work; as long as tla will be listing fish as one of the supported
protocols. This way people will not automatically come to the conclusion
they can't use tla for remote management since their ISP will not support it
even though they use ssh daily.
Its an win-win situation, I really don't see what your problem is!
